Question

Say my base method looks like:

public int GetCount() {.....}

Now I inherit from GetCount’s class, and do:

public new int GetCount()
{
  int count = base.GetCount();

  count += 1;


  return count;

}

Will calling base.GetCount() cause a return before my increment? (that seems to be what I am experiencing)

Answer 1

No it will not. Calling base.Count is no different with respect to returning from the method than any other method call.

In a normal C# method (excluding iterators and abnormal process termination), there are only 3 ways to leave a method

• Explicit call to return
• Execution goes beyond the last instruction in a code path for a void returning method
• Thrown exception, in the function or a called one, reaches the current method and is unhandled
